Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Boss, Did You Forget You Have Another Company?

Mo Jingchun zipped up his down jacket, securing his sister, Candy, snugly in his embrace as he sat on the electric scooter. He said to his grandfather and the others:

“We’re leaving, Grandpa, Uncle…”

“When will you be back in the first month?” Mo Jingchun’s grandfather hastily asked as he watched Mo Jingchun about to ride off with Xiaobao on the electric scooter.

Mo Jingchun pondered for a moment before replying, “It might be a few days late, probably around the fourth or fifth day.”

“I’m worried that if someone comes in the first few days and there’s no one home, that would be rather improper.”

Mo Jingchun’s grandfather nodded, “That’s true, that’s true.”

“Give your sister Ni’Er a call before you come, we’ll prepare the meal and wait for you to return.”

“Okay.”

“Candy, say goodbye to Grandpa～”

Hearing her brother calling her, Candy looked up at him, her eyes filled with a puzzled look.

Feeling a gust of wind hit her, the little girl shook her head and snuggled back into her brother’s coat.

“Xiaochun, there are a lot of cars on the road these days. Make sure you and your sister stay safe on the way back.”

“Okay～” Mo Jingchun’s voice faded away.

As he passed through the street, just as his grandfather said, there were indeed plenty of private cars on the road, and some businesses had even placed various goods along the roadside.

So much so that when passing through the street, Mo Jingchun’s feet never left the ground.

Although tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, there are still many people out shopping for the New Year today. It’s evident many people working far away are rushing home to celebrate at the last minute.

In the evening, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

At first, they were just as small as raindrops, scattered here and there. Within less than ten minutes, it turned into a heavy blizzard of goose feather-sized snowflakes.

Sitting by the fireplace blazing with crackling firewood, Mo Jingchun held his sister, Candy, warming themselves with his uncle and the others.

“That’s settled then, making some changes this year.”

“Usually, we’d have breakfast at Xiaochun’s home on New Year’s Eve, but since there’s Xiaobao at Xiaochun’s house now, we won’t wake up early. This year we’ll have lunch at Xiaochun’s place, breakfast at my place, and dinner, as per the old custom, at second brother’s house.” Mo Changyou decided, while rearranging the firewood with the fire tongs, on the meal arrangements for New Year’s Eve.

The second brother of the Mo Family didn’t mind; it was always at his house anyway.

“Okay, no problem.”

Mo Changyou nodded and said, “Alright then, Xiaochun, you take Candy and head back now. It’ll be hard to travel once the snow piles up.”

“Alright, Uncle, Second Uncle, I’ll take my sister and head back now.”

Bidding farewell, Mo Jingchun left, holding his sister.

As Mo Jingchun stepped out into the snowy ground, his sneakers were already buried in the snow. In under an hour, the snowfall was already this thick.

If the snow continues at this pace, who knows how deep it will be by tomorrow morning.

Past nine in the evening, the little girl had already fallen asleep. While lying in bed playing with his phone, Mo Jingchun received a call from Xu Pengfei.

Looking at the sleeping little girl, Mo Jingchun put on his down jacket and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

“Hello, what is it, Xu Pengfei, why are you calling me so late?”

Far away in Jing City at Jing University’s student innovation and entrepreneurship incubation base office, Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan were momentarily at a loss for words when they heard the boss’s question.

“Boss, um, have you forgotten that you own a company?”

Hearing Su Wenyan’s voice, Mo Jingchun was silent for a moment.

He had been so focused on celebrating the New Year that he almost… forgot he had started a darn company.

“No, how could I forget my first-ever company?”

“Then why haven’t you asked about the sales of the company’s smart anti-shake spoon these past few days?”

*Cough cough* How’s the sales going? We haven’t sold none, have we?” Honestly, Mo Jingchun didn’t have much confidence.

A voice came over the phone, “Boss, why don’t you guess?”

Xu Pengfei’s voice was slightly indifferent, Mo Jingchun couldn’t discern from his tone if the news was good or bad.

Following his hunch, Mo Jingchun tentatively guessed a number.

“1000?”

Upon hearing this, the three people on both sides of the call fell silent.

“No way, haven’t sold even 1000?” Anxiously, Mo Jingchun felt a chill in his heart.

Won’t this end up losing everything?

“Boss, you really have no confidence in your own product. It’s designed by you, after all.”

“More than a thousand?” This feeling was like riding a rollercoaster, up and down.

“Hehe, Boss, just add a zero to the number you guessed, and you’d be about right.”

“10,000?” Mo Jingchun was stunned, mouth agape.

Su Wenyan cheerfully responded, “To be precise, as of a minute ago, we’ve sold 10,009 units.”

10,009 units! How much profit is that!

Selling one for 2399 each, totalling over 24 million for 10,009, and after deducting costs, a profit of 20 million. Even after a 25% corporate tax, the net profit is still a whopping 15 million.

Calculating the amount, Mo Jingchun stood on the balcony grinning foolishly, not feeling the cold at all.

“Boss, does the sales bonus you mentioned earlier still stand?”

“Huh? Of course! Certainly! I’ll give you your bonuses tomorrow, or no, I’ll send it to you now.” Grinning from ear to ear, Mo Jingchun didn’t care about the bonus.

Besides, to make the horse gallop, you naturally have to feed it grass.

After hanging up, Mo Jingchun lingered on the balcony for a bit before returning to his room to check the company’s account transactions.

Meanwhile, Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, happy they could receive a sales bonus, felt a tinge of regret.

In their expectations, the sales of the smart anti-shake spoon should have exceeded 10,000. Selling 10,000 isn’t great, nor bad, just average.

Fortunately, as time passed, the number of people placing orders gradually increased.

Once feedback flows in from the first wave of users, and word of mouth spreads, sales should rise steadily, then decline, eventually reaching equilibrium.

In the bedroom, after sending 100,000 bonuses to both Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, Mo Jingchun suddenly froze. The long-muted system without issuing tasks appeared.

“Congratulations to the host for having your company profits exceed ten million, barely stepping into the tech company arena.”

“Ding～ Congratulations to the host for triggering a long-term system task.”

“Develop Candy Technology Co., Ltd. into Candy Group and become a global tech giant, with rewards yet unknown.”

“Warm reminder: The shorter the task completion time, the better the rewards.”
